One of the most important elements to creating an enjoyable outdoor living experience is comfortable and attractive furniture. You’re more likely to spend quality time in the great outdoors if you love your environment. Once you have the right seating that enhances the look and functionality of your space, it’s important to maintain your furniture, so it lasts as long as possible. Follow our tips for caring for your wood, metal, wicker or resin outdoor Modern Leisure Chair . To extend the life of your furniture, we recommend storing it indoors or protect it with covers during long periods of non-use.

TEAK

Teak furniture is not only durable, but it also requires little maintenance, making it a popular choice with consumers. Regular cleaning ensures your furniture will not fall victim to discoloration or mildew.

To keep teak in good condition, use a simple solution of one cup of vinegar in one gallon of warm water and scrub the wood with a soft plastic brush. Allow the vinegar solution to rest on the wood for roughly 15 minutes and then rinse clean with water.

WROUGHT IRON

Wrought iron furniture is extremely durable, needing to be cleaned only once every few months. Spray the furniture with your hose or power washer to get rid of dirt and grime. Using a drop or two of mild dish soap on a sponge, clean your furniture in circular motions and re-apply the soap as needed. Spray furniture clean using your hose and allow to air dry. Chips or rust can be fixed with some sandpaper and a new coat of paint.

WICKER

Wicker furniture is also a low-maintenance choice. Use a vacuum to get rid of spider webs, bugs and dirt. You can use a mild oil-based soap and warm water to clean the wicker if, after vacuuming, it is still quite dirty. If your furniture does not require a heavy cleaning, a small amount of natural dish soap mixed with warm water and applied with a sponge will do the trick. After rinsing, allow the furniture to dry completely before using it.

RATTAN

Rattan, like wicker, is best cleaned with natural dish soap. Add a small amount of the soap to warm water and mix until frothy bubbles form. Dip a soft cloth into the bubbles, but not the water, and wipe down your furniture. You can use a soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in the suds to clean any nooks or crannies. Allow the furniture to dry thoroughly in the sun. Once dry, you can apply lacquer to your furniture for extra protection.

PLASTIC

The most affordable of all outdoor furniture options, plastic needs more care than you might think. Regular cleaning and care is necessary to avoid discoloration. You can use a vinegar-water solution or mild dish soap and water, depending on your preference. Start by hosing the furniture down and then, using a sponge, scrub with the solution of your choice. Dry the furniture with a towel or cloth to avoid water spots. To add a little luster, spray with WD-40 and wipe with a soft cloth.

Wood Furniture

If your wooden patio furniture has been coated with exterior-grade varnish, you can clean it with a solution of oil-based mild soap and water. Just a few drops of soap will do the trick!

Soft woods, like cedar, should be scrubbed with the direction of the wood grain. Wipe the furniture with a wet rag; never hose it down, this can cause mold and mildew. Dry it with a towel.

With most wood furniture, you should give it a coat of oil after cleaning, but check with the manufacturer first.

How to Store Your Outdoor Furniture

Whether you live in a mild or harsh climate, using patio furniture covers will prolong the life of your furniture and keep it looking like new. If you are planning to leave your cover on for an extended period of time, make sure you clean your furniture before covering it. This will help keep the cover itself clean on the inside, and reduce the work you'll have to do when you are ready to use your furniture again.
